A thinkage:

What if we in the wider trans community started celebrating the day we finally accepted / realised we were trans, sort of like a rebirth-day or an awakening day?

I know many of us already celebrate our own HRT anniversary (biHRTday), but it could be cool to normalise a non-HRT one for those in the community who don't want HRT.

@SleepyCatten it does depend how you define that, since many of us had a sense that something was wrong with our gender for years before realizing that it meant that we were trans (due to lack of available information)

@SleepyCatten even after I learned what being trans was, it still took another two years to fully realise that it accounted for my own experiences

@SleepyCatten 5th of December 2020 for me then! That was the day I decided to begin my journey with the smallest of things - requesting an exercise bike for xmas from my parents so that I could start losing weight as preparation for everything that I wanted to do later...

@SleepyCatten oh shit! I just spotted that announcing my name change last night means that it is exactly 1 year since I signed my now dead deed poll in the wrong name! That's bonkers timing!
